Indignant CoIored Citizens.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The cO!ored
people of this district are indignant.and
with cause. at the recent action of the
commissioners concerning the selection
of a school for their children. The
building at the corner of FOur-and-a-
half and Maryland avenues has been
chosen for their place of instruction. 1t
Is the old Mary Hall building. For well
nigh a quarter of centuary Mary Hall.
Il woman of the town. kept brothel in
the house. 1t was notorious, and is yet,
as a low resort. Maryland avenue is
to-day. in that vicinity. place of open
immortality and vice. Women Of all
shades of color are there in broad day,
as we'll as all night, making the vicinage
foul and filthy with their orgies. Sail
Ors. marines, lOafers and bummerS con-
gregate there and render morality and
virtue mOckery. In that building the
colOred children shall procure their edu-
cation. 1t is no wonder that they pro-
test and loudly proclaim their sense of
the wrong and indignity. Intelligent
men, regardless of party affiliations,
make no excuses for the indefenSible
conduct of the commissioners.

BLOOMFIELD, KY, Dec. 27.-J. A.
Allen. of this place, while eXcavating
the foundation for new mill, struck
the dome of cavern of immense pro-
portions, from which a strong current of
cold air issued with great force as the
workmen made the opening. Torches
were procured, and Mr.. Allen and Cain
Hurst were lowered down by means of
a windlass. 1t was about sixty feet
from the surface to the floor of the cave,
which they found to be level and sandy,
as if it was once the bed of an ancient
subtefranean stream. They followed
the main avenue for distance of over
two miles and discovered an opening in
a cliff on the farm of Benjamin Wilson,
and well-beaten path was easily dis
cerned that was once trOd by human
beings, although it is now in
many places covered with forest
trees and underground. MI.
Allen and Mr.. Hurst, after
emerging from the cave, fastened back
to town and reported the result of their
discoveries. A large party was at once
FORMED, WHICH entered Tue OpeuillS VI
the cliff on the Wilson farm. On one OF
the main avenues numerous evidences
existed that the place had evidently
been the abode of the cave men, as nu-
merOus relics were found in the shape
of pottery and bronze articles. A sepul-
cher was also discovered in large
niche or avenue at right angles with
with the main avenue, and in it are nu-
merous mummifed bodies. Three of
them have been removed to the town
and excite great curiosity. The forma-
lions in the cave are beautiful beyond
description. Stately towers of stalag-
mites and beautiful pendants of trans
lucent stalactites. suggestive of gro
tesque and unique figures, are encoun-
tered all along the wonderful subterra-
mean avenue. There is a beautiful lit
tie lake with water as clear as crystal,
and, as usual in cave streams, it is full
of tiny eyeless fish. The avenues of
the cave will measure in all probability
about seven miles, so that it may be
fairly considered another rival to the
Mammoth, and certainly one of the
many great cave wonders of Kentucky,
the country of caves.

CoIonizing Lower California.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 27-The ques-
ton of the policy of allowing Ameri-
cans to colonize Lower California con-
tinues to be agitated, the opposition
taking the ground that the administra-
ton of President Diaz in its cOrdiality
toward Americans forgets the result of
permitting American colonization
in Texas. Gen. PachecO, the
minister of public works, replies
in pamphlet, showing that no
danger from American colonization
exists, and in fact, that the Americans
are in large minority in the territory
of Lower California. He argues that
the separation of Texas from Mexico
was brought about not by Americans
who had gone there to settle, but by adj
venturers who had fiOcked into the
state from theNUnited States. He takes
a liberal view of American colonization,
and intimates that it is too late in the
century to begin to show dread of
friendly and neighboring nation.

THEIR CLAIM PROVEN.
A True Title to Land in New York
City Worth $2O,OOO,OOO.

DOVER, n. H., Dee. 27.-Dr. W. W.
Weber stated to-day that the claim of
his father, William Weber, as one of the
heirs to the plot of land, sixty acres in
extent, situated in New York city south
of Canal street. has been proven. The
said plot. now studded with massive
blocks of buildings, was bought in 1886
by Wilfred Weber, of Holland, who set
tied at Manhattan island a short time
previous. In 1914 Mr.. Weber leased the
land to a kinSman, Wilfred Weber, Jr.,
for 200 years. DR.. Weber's father is of
the seventh generation of Weber, SEN
iOr, who originally owned the land. On
the expiration of the lease in 1874, the
land naturally reverted to the descend
ants of the original Wilfred Weber, and
for few years past William Weber and
other descendants have been busily en-
gagged proving they were direct descend
ants of the first owner. Now that it is
proved there will be meeting of heirs
in New York, Jan. 20, to complete the
arrangements for getting possession.
The property is valued at S2O,OO0,OOO.

In Favor of War.

PEsTH, Dec. 21.-Herr EsernatOmy,
intimate friend of Herr Tisza, the Hun
garian premier, writes to the Nemzet as
follows: 1.-THE guiding spirits of the
German army are in favor of war in
order to stop Russian designs.
They apprehend nothing from
an attack by France and are con-
fident of success in case of war against
Russia. If it were not that Prince Bis
marck favOrs peace. the German army
would already be fighting the Russians,
in company, of course, with the Aus
trian and Italian armies" In con-
cluSion the writer says he expects that
peace will be maintained, now that
Russia finds that the powers do not
fear her.
